Good stuff Jose, thanks.

I looked up that California Western Railroad as I had never heard of it. They had, or still have ?, a 2-6-6-2 that looks rather like the Bachmann On30 one. Also a strange looking 2-4-2.

Regards Michael

I have a model of the #14 in your first picture. It is the #12 here but they were both the same. I have another one to build and it will be the #14.

It is articulated at the front truck. I guess that is how to say it.

I thought I had a picture of the bottom but guess I didn't take any from that view.

Railbuses are like beaches. So many to choose from, but so little time

The WP&Y looks like it's made from two separate vehicles. Perhaps a car for the power unit and a bus chassis for the passenger compartment.

The little red "T" with the track picks ups. They are actually track cleaners so you get better contact from a clean rail. :clown:
